Nunhead and Peckham Rye - the place

The area is also seen as an increasingly trendy and fashionable place to live, particularly with the number of local art galleries, artwork and artists in the area.

Peckham has a thriving cultural life.

The Creative Industries Group, a network of local artists, agencies and organisations is a local network working with the arts to ensure a diverse and inclusive cultural input into this area. The area also hosts artistic events during the year; check the What's on calendar for more information. In the evenings Peckham is also a magnet for the area's African and South American communities.

If you would like an opportunity to tell us what sort of place you want Peckham to be in ten years time, what you like and dislike about the area, what should be changed and what should stay the same, then get involved in the Peckham and Nunhead Area Action Plan process.
